The furious Cao Mengde immediately threw himself at him.

However, the soldiers of the West Cold knew that they no longer had a way out, so they went all out outside the imperial city and launched an unprecedented counterattack.

Liu Ji, who was at the side, quickly said: "My lord, you cannot! If we smash the oil barrel over, then even the Emperor Weiyang Palace will be implicated, not to mention there are hundreds of civil and military officials. If my lord uses this tactic, it will definitely cause everyone in the world to criticize him!"

Liu Ji stroked his beard and said confidently: "Change the flow of the Purple Wood River in Chang An to another route. If they don't have any water or food, how long can they last for?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He then laughed out loud complacently, "Bevan's good plan, come!"

With that, Cao Cao Cao ordered his men to begin surrounding the imperial city. The Xiliang Steel Cavalry within the city could not come out, the people outside could not attack, and Cao Cao Cao had his men capture the outside of the imperial city. After Dong Zhuo's granary, the situation inside the city finally started to get short of food.

When we set up camp outside the palace, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "This plan is too venomous. If this goes on, not only will the Dong Zou's men and horses starve to death, I'm afraid the Emperor is also starving inside! "This civil and military officials don't have very good bodies and bones. I wonder what will happen when they starve to death!"

"Right now, Cao Mengde is the leader, we can't do anything, we can't wait for an opportunity to strike." "No," I said.

A day had passed, but the hungry situation in the palace wasn't that fast. West Cold soldiers continued to guard the palace, not daring to take a step out.

Seeing that the situation was in a deadlock, I went outside the city to look for Zhen Mi.

When I entered the tent, I found out that Diao Chan had not come over, and Zhen Mi said: "Husband, did Little Sister Chan Er leave the city?"

"Didn't I teach her a jade pendant? Why didn't she come over?! " I cried out in alarm, but after asking the others, I only knew that many of the refugees in the city had already headed towards the east, while Diao Chan did not see even a shadow of them.

Could Diao Chan have been taken away?

After all, outside the city, other than our troops, there are also Cao Mengde's troops. If there were any bad people appearing, they would have been discovered immediately.

If Diao Chan didn't leave by herself, and not follow us back?

But Diao Chan also has her own consciousness, if she really wants to go somewhere, I'm afraid that we won't be able to stop her.

He had only received news on the way that he had met a white-clothed female carrying a jade guqin and left from the west, accompanied by an old Taoist in his seventies.

I don't know who the old Daoist is, but as the saying goes, life comes eventually, life cannot be forced. Diao Chan and I are also close friends, and I did not have any intentions of forcing her, if she finds the path she wants to take, then walking on it would be good as well.

After all, everyone had the right to choose, and no one could stop them.

"Report!" The people of the Imperial City reported in detail that there was a lack of food in the palace, but Dong Zhuo had gathered all the food that he had initially distributed to the ministers, so that the soldiers under him could eat and drink. herald came to the tent.

When I sat on the second seat, Cao Mengde was seated on the main seat, holding a beauty in his arms as he glared fiercely at her: "Dong Zou wants to perish together with the inner court minister. If that's the case, then when the time comes, Greatest Ambition and I will bear the wrath of the entire world!"

herald clenched his teeth and said: "The scouts also said that Dong Zou had gathered all of the palace maids and eunuchs together and set up a big pot. After the food was cut off, they are prepared to cook the human flesh!"

"This Dong Zou is completely devoid of conscience!" Liu Ji was furious, he immediately stood up and holding his fan, he said: "Master, now it looks like Dong Zou intends to fight us to the death!"

"Burwin, do you have a plan?" Cao Mengde said.

Liu Bowen shook his head: "Unless we attack forcefully, it will be disadvantageous for our lord!"

At this time, Xun Yu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up. "Master, I have a plan!"

"Speak." Cao Mengde glanced at Xun Yu.

The current Xun Yu looked to be a young hero, one who was in high spirits.

He said, "Right now, the palace walls are sturdy and cannot be attacked forcefully. However, we can take advantage of them!"

"Cleverly?" Cao Mengde continued, "How do I get lucky?"

He might as well have a lobbyist, to advise the soldiers under the Dong Zou to surrender. Now that Dong Zhuo is at the end of the day, I'm afraid that the soldiers under her command have long had second thoughts, if she succeeds, the enemy will descend without a fight! " Xun Yu said.

"However, if I fail, my brothers will never return." I said coldly.

This Xun Yu is truly malicious, this is the tactic of killing two birds with one stone, one is to get rid of this scourge, and the other is to pave the way for me to become Cao Mengde's son.

"Xiamu, do you have any objections?" Cao Mengde looked at me coldly.

At this moment, I had clearly seen Cao Mengde's true appearance, but if I were to fight openly now, it definitely wouldn't be a wise decision.

However, she was unhappy. She said angrily, "General Cao, you are forcing my husband into a corner. If he goes in alone, how could those soldiers of the West Cold let him go so easily?"

"If you don't go in and all the ministers in the city die, will you be able to bear this peerless curse?" Xun Yu sneered.

I grabbed the back of Silverscreen's hand and said, "General Cao, I will do my best to uphold justice."

"Haha, good good good! I knew that Lin Xiongtu was talented, and did not care about small matters. I will prepare a feast here, and when the general returns, we will drink! " Cao Mengde's eyes lit up.

I cupped my hands and said, "I'll go and prepare!"

"Go!"

Arriving at the tent, Silverscreen told me the whole story. My brothers were so angry that they started to curse. I hastily said, "Calm down, everyone. It's already autumn time for us to die!"

"If the lord had fallen out in the tent earlier, Cao Zhe might have already found an excuse to kill the lord." Guo Jia said.

I took a deep breath. "That's right. Cao Cao told me to go down and persuade him not to suspect anything within three days. In these three days, you have to do the following."

I gravely thought for a moment before replying, "On the first night, you all ordered the troops outside of Chang'an City to evacuate, but there were still many patrolling people. It gave off the feeling that there were still people there!"

"On the second night, the eight thousand soldiers left the palace gate. Other than their daily patrols, they left the place as well.

"On the third night, move all the supplies. At midnight, move as much as you can and leave all the empty tents behind. Then, leave Chang'an City and go to the Nine Mile Pavilion a hundred miles south of Chang'an City. We will meet there!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Zhu immediately asked: "What is the reason behind this?"

Guo Jia explained: "This is the Cicada's method to escape, I am afraid that when the Dong Zou is destroyed, it would be when Cao Zhe attacks us, and when that happens, they would surround us with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we would be able to escape?! Master is using this as an opportunity to evacuate all the troops, so it will not cause much of a commotion. Secondly, the tent I left behind can calm down Cao Zhe's suspicions, but this move of mine is the most dangerous, and once you enter the palace city, you will most likely die! "

"If I don't enter the palace, I'll definitely die." I looked at Guo Jia and said, "Everyone, don't worry, now that the river is empty, the riverbed is a good place to retreat. If my calculations are correct, I will be fine." "No," I said.

Guan Yinping looked at me with concern, but continued to bite her lips, unwilling to speak.
